Ummm, my A6 is down for repair at the moment, and I may be getting it
confused with the Ion, but....   at least on one of these synths you
have the ability to specify the destination patch number during the save
process.

If not, you can always edit the sysex and put in the number you want.

How can you find the info?  Do this -- save the exact same patch to two
different locations.  Do a sysex dump of each one.  Compare the data and
you should be able to see exactly which bytes are used for the patch number.

I know -- it's a low-level hack to the problem, but on the other hand,
you (or someone) can write a simple Perl front end to prompt for the
location number and update the sysex file.
